Cornerback Charvarius Ward was suited up and participating as practice started. That's good news for the defender, who hopes to be on the field for Sunday's game against his former squad. The defensive back is dealing with a groin injury. Reporters can only observe practices until team drills begin.
Safety Talanoa Hufanga remains in a blue no-contact jersey. He has spent the week in the concussion protocol.
The newest member of the team, running back Christian McCaffrey, was on hand for the Friday session. He observed his new teammates from the sideline. McCaffrey landed in the Bay Area just before 11 a.m. PT.
McCaffrey passed his physical, making the trade from the Carolina Panthers official. The 49ers officially announced the trade via a press release as practice started. Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that the running back will wear No. 23 with the 49ers.
